40th Anniversary Celebration

On July 26, 1976, a group of dedicated amateur historians came together to form the Middletown Historical Society, dedicated to preserving the important history of Middletown, Rhode Island. During the American Revolution, Middletown played a key role in the Battle of Rhode Island and inspired the indomitable spirit that came to symbolize the people of Rhode Island that continues to this day. 

2016 marks the 40th anniversary of the Middletown Historical Society and the Society has decided to throw a party for the citizens of Middletown the likes of which we've never known. 

Please help us to fund this undertaking and join us on Saturday, August 20th from 10:00am until 4:00pm at Paradise Park. Your fully tax deductible contribution will help pay for musical acts, wonderful foods, displays of historical artifacts, Civil and Revolutionary War Reenactors and much, much more. The highlight of the day will be the running of our magnificent eight-bladed Boyd's Wind Grist Mill. Built in 1810 and painstakingly restored starting in 1995, the mill was dedicated in 2000 and is the crown jewel of the Society's properties. Seeing its sails unfurled and the vanes turning is truly a once-in-lifetime sight to see. 

Your generous contribution will also allow the Society to continue its work throughout the year preserving and maintaining our other properties in Middletown and will also allow us to continue our educational programs such as our "Golden Rule Days" and our slate of historical lectures in our winter/spring speaker series. 

The Middletown Historical Society is a 501c3 educational organization and all contributions are fully tax deductible to the extent of the law.
